Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was a spectacular event for the most part on Netflix, going down from AT&T Stadium with 72,300 fans in attendance to watch the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion try to KO the influencer.

Netflix's Foray Into Combat Sports

While Tyson couldn't pull off the upset against Paul, the boxing icon did "knock out Netflix", said one of his coaches following the fight, acknowledging the buffering problems the leading streaming service had while the fight was live.

"We're talking 280 plus million households that are subscribed to Netflix. This is going to be the poster child to see if Netflix will be here for the long call if they want to dabble in combat sports," Sports media personality "The Schmo" told MMA Knockout of the Netflix event days prior.

Of 200M+ subscribers worldwide, a reported 60M households tuned into Paul vs. Tyson on Netflix, peaking at 65M concurrent streams, according to a press release from Most Valuable Promotions.
